What is Murder Miners?

To put it simply, Murder Miners is what you get when Halo, Minecraft and a few nostalgic games come together.

How Does It Play?

It plays very closely to the original Halo CE but with a few added features such as sprint, wall jumping and dodging but none of these really take away from the feel of the game itself. There are also a few other factors at play that makes the game feel nostalgic, though that might just be because of all the Golden Eye and Halo CE maps in the game.

Where Can I Get It And What Is It On?

The game is only $1 on the Xbox Live Indie Game service, if you do not know how to make it there just click on this link or on the logo of the game above. Seriously though its a dollar, just buy the damn thing.

As for platforms it is only on Xbox 360 right now but there are plans to bring it to PC...speaking of which

Steam Greenlight!

As I said they are looking into getting it on the PC and they are doing that via Steam Greenlight. So if you enjoy the game and want to see it make it to other platforms please upvote them so that more people can enjoy this game.

Here is the link to the Greenlight page

Future Updates

When this game started out it was very basic but ever since then they have added A LOT more textures, armor, armor skins, weapon skins, Infection mode, toggle starting weapons, aim settings, super sampling and more. So when the game gets updates they do add to the game and the updates are fairly frequent.

In the newest update that is going to hit soon will include Capture the Flag and before anyone asks YES YOU CAN DROP THE FLAG! They are also adding in the option to set individual spawns which will help a lot of map makers out there who have had issues with the previous system.

They also at some point want to add vehicles.

What Game Modes Does It Have?

It has a fair selection of Game Modes and its usually par for the course as far as modern shooters go. There is also a new mode the community has made called Boxing, just disable all weapons and you are ready to go!

-Murder Match
-Team Murder Match
-Infection
-Zombie Survival (still a WIP)
-Map Making

How Many Maps Does It Come With?


A LOT! Maps are added every update by the community and even then new maps are being made on a daily basis. But here is the number of current maps for each Game Mode.

  • Murder Match
    -24 Maps
  • Infection
    -15 Maps
  • Zombie Survival
    -2 Maps (still WIP)
  • Artistic
    -20 Maps
(Note some maps were used across gametypes)

I have a FFA server running right now with some Halo maps.
GT is Overdoz1z. Max players is 10 so if it's not showing up it's probably full.

Why the developer would release this on XBOX first is beyond me. PC + 360 pad support to hit a much larger audience and get much more money faster in order to better maintain/update the game.
 
You really aren't missing much.
Not like I can get much else with these 220 MS points.

I know that feel. Don't wanna buy 400 MS when I only need 20 points. They should really implement a system where you can enter a certain amount of MS to buy.
That's how they make their money and it's total bullshit for consumers.

'Only avaliable in the US'

Why do you taunt me!?

Played a couple of games until I got booted by Overdoziz for having a high ping and/or unrecognizable gamertag. It's pretty damn fun, better than Reach lol

Really wish Australia had indie games.

Americans complain about the cost of Live yet they get the best version of it at the cheapest price available.

You can buy it on an american account and the license should just be on your xbox for all accounts.

So much fun laying waste to people. 5v5 on Lockout felt like I was playing Halo again. I'm not sure how to explain it.

And then that game on Hang 'Em High was amazing. I just shit all over the other team somehow. 14 - 0.
